A man named Winter has a very big coffee project. Since 1997, he has tried to visit every company-owned Starbucks in the world. He calls this project Starbucking.
Winter's website now says he has visited 20,595 stores. That is more than 20,000 places. He has travelled in the United States, Canada and many other countries.
For a store to count, Winter must go inside and drink coffee there. Seeing a shop from outside is not enough. His goal is difficult because Starbucks keeps changing. New stores can open, and old stores can close. So the end of his project keeps moving. Winter may never finish, but he still enjoys the journey.
